Think Driving School

Hello all,

Just wondering if anyone has had any experience - good or bad - with Think Driving School. I'm in the Surrey area so any local knowledge would be great, but any info appreciated!

I'm also just generally looking at driving schools (there are so many and so many conflicting reviews!) so if anyone has any recommendations for instructors/schools in the Surrey/Hampshire area I'd be much obliged ;)

Apologies if this is in the wrong forum or answered elsewhere - searches came up with nowt recent! :D

    shame, if you were in East Yorkshire I'd have a brilliant instructor to recommend!

    Darn! I think that's slightly too far for me to travel. Ironically if I already had a car and licence it may not have been! :D

    You would be better off with a small independent instructor but these will only cover a small local area, half of Surrey/Hants is too big . In our locality an independent instructor was great with our Granddaughter if you are Mole Valley area let me know.

    Good local independent instructor is what you need. My experience with these type of 'driving schools' is not good. Most of the instructors are disinterested and/or have day jobs. So you end up not being able to get lessons when you want them or having them cancelled when you find your assigned instructor is still at his day job.
